Real Madrid will need to strengthen their squad in the summer and have been linked with a wide variety of players in recent times. In recent years, the club have focused on bringing in youngsters with plenty of potential for growth though. And it looks like a Spaniard has caught their eye, as he is enjoying his breakout campaign in La Liga.
The player in question is none other than Gabri Veiga. The 20-year-old currently plays for Celta Vigo and is enjoying a breakout campaign right now. According to stats from Transfermarkt, he has scored 9 goals and provided 4 assists in 27 La Liga appearances this season till now.
Thus, it is not hard to see why Real Madrid might be interested in Veiga. He ticks a lot of the boxes that the club look for, when signing a player these days.
Carlo Ancelotti has also admitted that he likes Veiga. As tweeted out by Fabrizio Romano, the Real Madrid manager said about the Celta Vigo youngster:
"“I like Gabri Veiga, he’s a good player — he has quality.”"

Veiga is without doubt a top talent who has the potential to be a regular member of the Spanish national team set up for years to come, if he can continue developing at this rate. Let’s see what the future holds for him.
Real Madrid will get the chance to have a closer look at Veiga this weekend. They will be welcoming Celtic Vigo to Santiago Bernabeu in a very important La Liga match. With Barcelona struggling in recent weeks, there is an outside chance that Los Blancos could open up the title race again.
Coming back to Veiga, Real Madrid are not the only club interested in him. He has been linked with a number of Premier League teams like Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Newcastle United.
